From what I read, it was imbalanced positions anyways, so Nestea just blindly went all-in to move onto the next game. | ||

MVP also has the second best GSL run after Nestea. Nestea won without dropping any map, MVP won dropping only a single map (To Nestea). MVP did have a significantly harder run that season than Nestea, in terms of opponents. MVP is the best Terran in the world. He's absolutely ridiculously good. That doesn't change the fact that GSLWC was only 8 Koreans | ||

I see him as more like 1 1/2 time gsl champ. GSLWC began at a ro16, with no group stage, and half code-S Koreans (not all of which were the best). But whatever, we all know MVP is gsl champion material. Open seasons were not the same as regular seasons either, and yet everybody is taking them into consideration. I don't see why the WC shouldn't count. | ||

Oh right he wanted the bottom spot? lol No doubt he doesn't take it 'seriously' but he doesn't openly strive to lose. It was hellions against mass slings and banes. A LOT of banes, very fast speed on them | ||

Open season at least had ro64 which fills the void of no groups. Not to mention it wasn't only half korean either. | ||

My argument is that the point system simply isn't that accurate because it rather arbitrary discounts a huge achievement for MC (Nestea too, but he's so far ahead in points that it doesn't matter for him either way) simply because it happened last year. I'd love to see a good argument made on why one is justified in discounting the Open seasons in tallying up points that should be indicative of a player's achievements. There's no reason to ignore them other than the arbitrary justification that they happened last year, but just because an achievement happened last year doesn't make it any less meaningful. | ||

The WC was 2 whole rounds shorter than the Open Season and half of the players were foreigners, all of whom lost to the first Koreans they met except for Dimaga. A better comparison to the Open seasons would be the Super Tournament. With that said, I'm perfectly happy to count the WC, but when you see people discounting the WC, maybe you'll understand how it feels unfair that the Open seasons are actually completely ignored in the GSL points system. At least the WC is counted in practice -_-;; | ||

Same for MVP. Come tournament match, no one wants to face him, not matter how much they beat him in ladder. | ||

I'm not trying to say he's not skilled, just that he hasn't won 2 GSLs. it sort of diminishes the prestige if you say he did. Who was hard for MVP at MLG? DRG and MMA are the only ones who even remotely come to mind. | ||
